ROLE
Game Designer
DESCRIPTION
While working with 302 Interactive, I had the pleasure of working on the Socially Twisted app. Socially Twisted was initially a physical card game. I worked with the team to create a standalone app version of the game. I worked closely with clients to conceptualize the game, defining the game mechanics and UX. Along with designing the gameplay and overall user flow I worked closely with the development team to test and find bugs.

In order to collect the data accurately, the developers created a custom axis puppet for the game. I needed to design our games with the axis puppet in mind while also making sure that the physical exercises and the activities the patients were doing made physical and visu
